Top A warm welcome to my blog, here you will find all the information that you will need about Maths Tuition in and around the Worcester area.
First of all let us look at why you or your child may need Maths Tuition. In today's fast paced technologically infused world that we live in the demand for numeracy skills is becoming more and more important. The conservative government when elected in 2015 promised to spend millions on bringing the standards of numeracy up to the levels as seen in Japan, China and Germany. So why are we so bad at Maths? Quite simply that it has had a bad press, it simply isn't cool for children to like Maths. Children who shine in the subject are labelled as Geeks, Nerds and oddballs. Individuals who take the subject at Further and Higher level often do not go into teaching due to the poor pay that is on offer compared to that of the private sector. As a result there is a massive shortage of qualified Maths teachers. This coupled with the 50% drop out levels of teachers overall and we are left with a massive shortfall. So as you can see children are simply not getting the education that they need in Mathematics. Bad stereotypical Maths teachers also reinforce the idea that Maths simply isn't a subject that can be enjoyed. As a result a lot of students end up disliking the subject to the extent that they simply do not put effort into learning the subject. Bad teaching can destroy a student's confidence instantly to the extent that they do not wish to pursue the subject at further and higher level.
